VISIT MONGOOSE JUNCTION St. John’s premiere shopping and dining destination and the second most visited attraction on the island after the national park.

It's landscaped with lush tropical plants and terraces, with lots of places to relax, enjoy and explore. Among the attractions are 7 eateries, more than 20 shops and galleries and more.

The Gecko Gazebo Bar
Our Bar, the Gecko Gazebo Bar has a life of it's own. Overlooking the Center Courtyard of Mongoose Junction, it's the perfect people watching perch, and a great place to relax from a strenuous day of vacationing. We're doing everything we can to keep people safe during this pandemic, so seated service at the bar is closed at this time, so we offer full bar service once guests are seated at a table.
If the Food and Service are great, please Tip the Staff. If not, tip me! We thrive on good critique, and love the personal contact with our guests! Thanks!
